Ⅳ.阅读理解

In 2009 a group of parents in Lymington started sharing worries about their children’s money-management skills.Pocket money was now stored in a building society rather than a piggy bank (储蓄罐);household shopping was done online;the children rarely saw their parents handling cash.They were spending online,too.Money had become intangible.How,then,were children to learn its value? 

The answer they came up with was GoHenry,an app now available in America as well as Britain.It is designed to help young people learn good spending habits through real-world money activities.Parents sign up with their own bank accounts and pay a monthly fee of ￡2.99 or $3.99 for each child aged six or over.Adults and children download separate versions.Parents can schedule pocket money and set chores.When those are marked as done,the child is paid the agreed amount.Parents can see what the child has bought and where.And they can choose where the card can be used:in shops,online or at ATMs.

Children get cards printed with their name.They can put money in savings pots,view their spending and balances,and set savings targets.“They could decide to save ten dollars for a friend’s birthday in four weeks’ time,or set a goal at 12 to have $2,000 to buy a car at age 18,”says Dean Brauer,one of GoHenry’s founders.“The app tells them how much to save each week to meet their goal.”

A big benefit of such apps is that they inspire family conversations about money.According to the latest research,more than half of British parents find the subject hard to discuss with their children.And yet most agree that children’s attitudes to money are formed in their early years.

Some GoHenry customers are wealthy parents who worry that their children will grow up with little knowledge of money.Others have slim incomes but regard the app as a preparation for their child’s future.Some say that they have been in debt and want their children to avoid that mistake when they grow up;others say that the app is cost-effective because their children learn to plan spending.Even though young people no longer touch and hold money,they can still be taught to handle it well.

参考范文

Time Doesn’t Definitely Mean Money 

As a popular saying goes,“Time is money.”But does time definitely mean money?In fact this is not the case. 

First of all,time is more precious than money.When money is spent,we can earn it back if we want to.However,when time is gone,it will never come back.To some degree,time is priceless.Second,not all time can be turned into money in the end.Some people are idling all the time.Their time is just for waste,not for earning money.They will end in nothing.

Therefore,we should save every second we own and make full use of our time to study hard.The harder we work now,the more we will get in the future!Let’s save time together!

(2020·湖南株洲二中高一期中)

My friend Mike is very poor.But I think he is the luckiest boy I’ve ever known.He is one of a large,happy family.

One hot day,we were going to the ball field for a big game.“How hot it is today!”I said.“It is too far to walk to the ball field on a day like this.We’d better take a bus.”

“Yes,it is hot,”said Mike.“So let’s go by bus.I think it is all right for me to take a dime for the bus (一角硬币).”

I followed him into his house.He put his hand into a small bag hanging on the door.Then he brought out some money.After taking one dime,he put the rest of the money back.

“Who owns the money?”I asked.“Is it all right for you to take money from the bag?”

“Yes,” he smiled.“This money belongs to every one of us in the family.When we children earn money,we put it into the bag.Father puts in the most.Then when we need money,we can take it from the bag.The money bag is Mother’s idea.She thinks it will teach us to spend money carefully and to know its real value.”

“Doesn’t anyone know how much you take?”I asked.

“Oh,no,”said Mike.“Mother says we must trust each other.”

“But couldn’t you take out more than you need for the bus?”I asked.

“I could,”answered Mike.“But then there might not be enough money for Jane and Fred.Someone in our family is always needing something.If I take more than I need,there won’t be enough to go around.”

注意:续写词数应为150个左右。

“And how do you children earn money?”I asked.

As we were waiting for the bus,I kept thinking how lucky Mike was. 

参考范文

“And how do you children earn money?”I asked.“We have many ways to earn money,”he said.“We get up early to sell newspapers in the streets on weekends,or work in the stores in the neighborhood after school.Sometimes we get paid by looking after the neighbors’ children when the parents have to be away from home.Besides,we have a small garden where we grow vegetables all the year around,and we can get money by selling some of them.”

As we were waiting for the bus,I kept thinking how lucky Mike was.He had a happy family in which the family members got on so well,trusting each other,and caring for each other.Moreover,he had a great mother.Her idea of the money bag not only taught the children the real value of money,but also the true meaning of it.Most importantly,it taught them how to be a person of good character.That day,I also learned a lot from the money bag.
